Watched the last two episodes, next week should be interesting; he’s absolutely bonkers but fearless at the same time

Not seen Ep.2 yet but enjoyed the first and look forward to next week - the LR build they show looks the business from the clips.
Guy is a real character and always enjoy his programs and books. Andrew

Guy martin, today's character, like the Fred Dibnah of yesteryear .......

Great programme but I wish they would either keep the volume of the heavy metal music down or leave it out all together, too much like the American car programmes where they have the heavy metal music blasting out and and spanners etc being thrown everywhere

And another

In reality , when you consider what he used to do , most of his ventures nowadays are comparatively tame. The link below shows a documentary film about his 2010 campaign on the Isle of Man . Guy is in the black leathers carrying the # 8

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .

It's a great little series. I had the pleasure of working on part of it, during the course of my day job.

Don't forget tonight is the night for this.

Seen a few things ahead of this on social media - look forward to the program later.

Just watched Guy Martin.

Very interesting and he did well at the Off Road Event.

I just wish the program was longer, not only for a better look at the racing shots, but also I would have liked a better look at his modifications and build of his Defender Racer.

I noticed that his tuned engine was only a bit more powerful than a FL2 SD4, although his suspension travel was considerably more than a FL2. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
